Projects

We are currently investigating the effectiveness of drought restrictions used by public water suppliers across Massachusetts to reduce summer water consumption.

This work was awarded an NSF ERI grant.

We have a published conference proceedings paper entitled "Public Water Supply in Massachusetts from 2009 to 2022".

This study reviews climate science literature and performs analysis on rainfall data from ground stations to identify oceanic and atmospheric teleconnections influencing monsoon rainfall in Karachi Pakistan. 

In collaboration with Dr. Hassaan Khan (Tufts University), we submitted a paper; updates once it is published!

We performed a review of the research on intensity-duration-frequency curves under non-stationarity from climate change.

We compared different approaches to projecting floods in the future under climate change.

We used machine learning to identify synoptic-scale atmospheric circulation patterns associated with extreme floods across the United States. Check out this news article about our work, and this interactive website where you can delve more deeply into our results.

We interviewed flood victims and public officials  in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (West Africa) to explore how perceptions of flood risk influence ability to implement mitigation to reduce future flood damages.

We used a bottom-up approach called "decision-scaling" to assess the impacts of climate change and changes in water demand on water supply.
